I must apologize to you and @Goldfish. My idea was very, very stupid. Turns out that the Merlin King doesn't have the Water domain.
It has the Ocean domain, the Death domain, and the Passion domain.

Are they?
Are the planes of hell really so much worse than that of a wicked god?
I suppose even if that is so while they may be "lucky" I guess they're useless if even the Hells are fighting this.

What the... Why the hell does he not have the Water domain?I must apologize to you and @Goldfish. My idea was very, very stupid. Turns out that the Merlin King doesn't have the Water domain.

@TalonofAnathrax, wasn't there that one PrC you really liked that gives you a bonus domain? I think it may have been Contemplative but I'm not sure.
Whatever it is, Vaela needs that Water domain in preparation for the Plane of Fire. Hopefully if she has that she can rebuke with little issue.
It depends on your standard for wicked. R'hllor for instance is LE but he does care about his worshipers in his own way. By comparison Hell tortures those souls into husks which it then piles up waiting for lemures to crawl out of them.

I was thinking something more like.
[] Living Items. Feeder is a dragon that's also a dagger, and you once mused that a thinking blade might learn magic, study Feeder to see if you can't grow living weapons in the Fungus Forge, and see if you can give said weapons the ability to cast spells.

Or it happened without him and he just made maximum profit from it.
According to Mereth Hell wasn't really prepared for that war, so it looks more like Asmodeus just took the opportunity when it showed itself.

It is indeed possible, but it will involve losing a caster level to dip Wavekeeper (and she'll have to take the Wild Cohort feat to grab a slightly weaker Animal Companion, but that's a decent feat anyway). Wavekeeper doesn't advance the Water domain's turning power, so her build should be Cleric 5 / Wavekeper 1 / Cleric + XWhat the... Why the hell does he not have the Water domain?

And then she could be taking feats like Improved Turning (or even a version of Quicken Turning that works on fire creatures instead of undead). Note that Extra Turning applies to all turning pools at once, which is nice. And there are a great many magic items that improve your turning - she could grab a few of those !
Note that the Water domain allows her to Turn fire creatures, but also Rebuke water creatures. Minionmancy !
Note that the Wild Cohort is weird. It seems to consider "animal cohort" different from "animal companion", but then it uses the word interchangeably in the mechanics. I'm hoping that DP will rule in our favor
Any suggestions for her Animal friend? It needs to have a Swim speed, but it also needs to be able to survive on the plane of Fire. A Large snake (I like Vipers, because Venomfire) could do the job, as could a Polar Bear if she qualified for it. Then all she'd need to do is get them some fire resistance, and voilà ! Perhaps she could even pay to have a fireproof one crafted in the Fungus Forge?
If she's spending a feat on an animal companion, she may as well go all-in : take Natural Bond and Companion Spellbond and make it a half-decent bruiser.

I would like a baby-version of the Dragonturtle that travels with the Tritons.
Is there such a thing or would it have to be build?

Food for starting research, and then come up with own ideas: Fleshwarping handbook from GitP (includes symbiote list among others).
That was a reading comprehension fail on your part - tarrangar said it's a BAD idea because it breaks the multiverse.
Well, having a talk about goals to achieve, but disagreeing about means, could still mean we tolerate each other and don't fight. That would be worth something?

It would have to be built. Just adding a 'young' template on the turtle would still leave it much too strong.
Speaking of building things though would you guys be interested in building up the new feral dragons?

Sure.
Red Dragon, Feral Template, never more than 2 INT and they keep SR, right?
What age are our new friends?
Here we are.

- Caraxes Young adult
- Grey Ghost Adult
- Balerion Advanced Wyrm

Does that mean he's between Wyrm and Ancient Wyrm in HD, or that he is a Wyrm with the simple Advanced Template?
I think the template would fit him best Balerion has excess magic in him and it manifested as growth beyond his age.

Grey Ghost needs to be a Stalking Wyrm, obviously. No idea how to give him the requisite skill points, except... How about Nymph's Kiss?
No, I'm not joking. Hear me out! He's the strange, sneaky Dragon. Clearly he met a Water fey, and grew entranced with it. From it he learned fishing, to enjoy the water despite being fire made flesh, stealth, and caution even from small things like Fey or Humans. No need for this to be an archfey either : a mere Pixie would do.
We will probably never discover this IC, but that's fine.

SKILLS: (6-4)*22=44 Skillpoints
Extraordinary Abilities:
Rage (Ex)
A barbarian can fly into a rage a certain number of times per day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but he takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases the barbarian's hit points by 2 points per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. (These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are.) While raging, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function. He can use any feat he has except Combat Expertise, item creation feats, and metamagic feats. A fit of rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the character's (newly improved) Constitution modifier. A barbarian may prematurely end his rage. At the end of the rage, the barbarian loses the rage modifiers and restrictions and becomes fatigued (-2 penalty to Strength, -2 penalty to Dexterity, can't charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter (unless he is a 17th-level barbarian, at which point this limitation no longer applies).
Equipped Magic Items:
@DragonParadox
First draft.
The choice of Feats and Archetype is supposed to represent a dragon who rips out his opponents throat after being gutted already.
Not very safe to ride for low-level chars though. Better bring some Featherfall.
Edit: Not sure what skills to give to an animal?

Spot, Listen, and Survival would make the most sense for an animal.
Unless Valyrian Dragons can swim. Can they swim?
